Patients with advanced arthritis can be treated successfully with joint replacement surgery

Arthritis causes pain and functional limitations during physical activities. Rest pain may occur in advanced disease. The range of motion of the joint may gradually decrease. Limb length discrepancy and deformities are among other conditions caused by arthritis.

 

Joint replacement surgery can help you maintain an active lifestyle with;

• Pain-Free Movement
• Correction Of Leg Deformity and Length Discrepancy

 

Robotic-arm Assisted Joint Replacement

• Detailed computer-assisted 3D analysis of each patient’s unique anatomy.
• Meticulous preoperative planning based on a three dimensional computer model.
• Execution of the preoperative plan with high precision

 

Personalized Planning For Each Patient Maximizes Surgical Accuracy

The first step in robotic-arm assisted joint replacement surgery is preoperative planning on a 3D model of your limb created from a computerized tomography scan using dedicated software. Your surgeon plans the implant size and positioning on this model, correcting your deformity and leg length discrepancy. This plan is then loaded to the robotic system.

 

Robotic Surgery Is Carried Out By The Surgeon

The robotic arm assists your surgeon during surgery to execute this plan with high precision. The robotic arm only functions within the previously set positions and limits and assures perfectly aligned bone cuts. Your surgeon controls these cuts on the monitors and the robotic system provides real time visual and audible feedback to help the surgeon. Soft tissue balance is checked and adjusted several times during surgery, obviating the need for extensive ligament releases. The surgeon can modify this plan anytime during surgery to best fit your needs. This helps your surgeon to place each component of the total joint prosthesis in a precise and accurate fashion.

 

Robotic Surgery Is Carried Out By The Surgeon

• Less pain, better joint motion and faster postoperative recovery due to less invasive surgery and perfect soft tissue balance
• Shorter length of hospital stay and easier rehabilitation and enabling a faster return to activities of daily living.
• Optimal implant positioning results in a more natural feeling in joints and maximizes the durability of the prosthesis.
